Firmware update and ipv6

Has anyone updated their Orbi firmware to v4. 6.8.2 and encountered an issue where connected devices cannot lookup ipv6 DNS (DNS6) records? IPv6 is setup correctly (dual stack) and has been working...

    Well, not sure what's happened - whether it's a router glitch or my ISP but the IPv6 is working on the network again and seems to be stable.

     

    As you were.

OK, Ya I'm looking to see how long since the issue appeared that your IPv6 has been working. Could you monitor this for the next 4-7 days and let us know if you see anything happen with IPv6? Hopefully you won't.

Will do. Strangely, I had to disable IGMP proxying to get it to work again, after I'd had to enable it a few weeks ago to maintain IPv6 connectivity.

    Just to keep you updated, the IPv6 has been rock solid since it came back.

    And you only disabled IGMP Proxying?

    Yes, but I can't claim that was the fix as I'd tried it previously. I suspect it was an issue with the local exchange infrastructure.
